It is "nominal" if you discard the Mann's phony hokum stick.
If fact, as much of a "consensus" that exists regarding the anthropocentric nature of global warming, absolutely no consensus exists regarding where it is going, or even if it is. Opinions diverge everywhere from extreme heat to triggering the next ice age. And just as divergent are the opinions on if it's even stoppable or reversible.
As for clouds and the grid: A single cloud wouldn't be, but a cloud front certainly would. I my neck of the woods, moving fronts extending over 100 miles are standard during A/C season, and would wreak havoc on a grid that was not balanced. This is why for a "smart grid" as currently envisioned without standby power would have to be empowered to turn off people's A/C; something that would be highly unpopular and something the smart grid advocates go out of their way not to mention publicly.
And yes, an intelligent reader would notice our differing styles. What I want to know is where I file my paperwork to get my check from the Koch brothers.
